Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the roles of and
the problems faced by ICT coordinators in junior high
schools in Taiwan. A questionnaire survey was
conducted to the technology coordinators in 410 junior
high schools. Three hundreds and five questionnaires
were returned, a 74.4% response rate. The study found
that ICT coordinators performed a wide range of duties,
including managing computer network, maintaining IT
hardware and software, providing technical support for
teachers, and doing related administrative work. They
considered the management/maintenance of the network,
computer systems, and ICT equipment as the most
troublesome work. Most of them felt their workload is
too heavy. Only about one third of them considered
staying on their current position in the upcoming
academic year.
